Abstract: In development regions, the management of environmental quality and the regional planning of water supply and the disposal of residuals are closely related to the form of intraregional population distribution. In this paper a hierarchical programming model is presented of the optimum intraregional population distribution in relation to environmental quality and the economic cost of water supply and the disposal of residuals. The model is applied to the specific case of a suburban region of the TÅ kyÅ Metropolitan Region. The results show that the higher-order objective of environmental quality regulates the spatial allocation of disposal-of-residuals activities, and the lower-order objective of economic cost determines the form of intraregional population distribution.
